I'm very happy with my R4DS as long as patches and game fixes keep coming along. It's a pain in the ass, but I just wait, and use google to try and figure stuff out for myself. I couldn't find any good, easy, detailed explanation on how to get nanashi no game to work on my R4DS, so I googled, and read, and googled, and read some more, then i downloaded a bunch of stuff, and tinkered, and did some hands on experimentation, and finally....at long freakin' last!!!! I got the game to work lolz! So I'm going to attempt to help fellow noobs out:
First of all, go to the official R4DS website, download the latest firmware which is 1.18. Once you're all updated, go to the link in this post: "
I can confirm that the cheat works on R4, at least to the point of getting to the boot screen.
I fixed my problem by going to http://home.usay.jp/pc/etc/nds/index_en.html and DLing and running the patcher,
as well as deleting my old DS Menu.sys file. I suggest that anybody else having issues try this as well." and download the R4Custom.
I suggest extracting the contents into a new folder, you know, just to keep tidy and organized. Then load up your micro-sd card on your PC, make a copy of the _DS_MENU.DAT and _DS_MENU.SYS files and keep them someplace safe. Then delete the _DS_MENU.SYS file from your micro SD card. Copy your _DS_MENU.DAT file into the folder where the R4Custom is. Open the R4Custom application, and since you copied your _DS_MENU_DAT file into the same folder, it should already be selected, so check all the boxes, then hit PATCH. with THAT Done, Paste the new _DS_MENU.DAT file onto the micro-sd card. Next, go here:
http://home.usay.jp/pc/soft_en.html and download the R4cce cheat code editor, in my personal opinion the one on the official R4DS website sux. Once you have downloaded the r4cce, extract into its own folder, then make a copy of the nanashi no game rom, and your cheat.dat file and put it in the r4cce folder.
Now open up the R4cce application, Go to File>Open>cheat.dat. Click the Add Game button, put this in the game title box:
2421 - Nanashi no Game (J) Then, under the Game ID box, click the ... button(the three dot button). Choose the nanashi no game rom. Check the Game Enable box, click the add code button, give the code a name, input this code:
102701A6 00002300
020701A8 E0016003
Check the Code Enable box. Now go to File>Save. then exit the program. Lastly copy the new cheat.dat file into your R4DS system folder on your micro-sd card, and the rom onto your card as well.
At least for myself, this worked 100% the game now loads for me, and i can play it. Although I do not know Japanese, if you use your brain and a little common sense, you can figure out what to do on some hard parts in the game, one hint would be that in some cases, whatever you do in the cheap glitchy game in game, you can do in the real world. For example, I'm in the subway, Every time i walk into a new subway car, it always says I'm still in car 4. When you have to go back into the 2-d game, you have to find your way out of an endless walk apparently. Choose the paths where you see um....colorful flowers lol. Eventually you go back into the real world, and as you're walking through the subway cars, look to the doors that also lead off. You'll see colorful flowers painted, take those exits.
anyways, i hope this helps those still trying to figure out how to get this game to work on your R4DS, if this still doesn't work for you, then you're out of luck because i don't have anymore answers, this was my personal last resort, and it worked for me, and saved me $50+ dollars from buying a CycloDS lol! Which I'll eventually buy anyways....At ease soldiers!!
